<p>Does anyone else find <a href="https://forge.rust-lang.org/#current-release-versions">this table</a> very confusing? Maybe it's partly because it doesn't tell me what I want to know, which is "if I am targeting this release, how long do I have to land patches before I need to backport"?</p>

<p>I think I want a "beta branch date"</p>

<p>is part of the problem that we don't always branch to beta at a predictable time?</p>

<p>Isn't that the third table? The end of the no breakage week.</p>

<p>Maybe it just needs a comment explaining it for laggards like me</p>

<p><span aria-label="wave" class="emoji emoji-1f44b" role="img" title="wave">:wave:</span>  I'm a passer-by with a nit: if we're going to update that page I also wouldn't mind a comment also about <code>Nightly +1</code>  :)<br>
I infer by the release number that  it's "the subsequent nightly" but we have three release channels and I might be lead to believe there are four</p>

<p>I think adding a column to the first table (or maybe two) for the "first beta release date" and "first nightly" or something like that makes sense. They'll be approximate, but seems helpful still.</p>
